Application


  • Lead exposure induces metabolic reprogramming in rat models.: This study by Mani MS et al. investigates the metabolic effects of lead exposure in rat models, focusing on the biochemical pathways affected. The research highlights the role of butyryl-ʟ-carnitine in counteracting lead-induced metabolic disruptions, suggesting its potential therapeutic applications in mitigating heavy metal toxicity (Mani et al., 2020).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Butyrylcarnitine is elevated in patients with Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase, short-chain (SCAD) deficiency, in infants with acute acidosis and generalized muscle weakness and in middle-aged patients with chronic myopathy localized in muscle; very long chain Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, and celiac disease.

Bioautography of human semen demonstrated the presence of L-carnitine, acetylcarnitine, propionylcarnitine and C4-acylcarnitines (butyrylcarnitines). In studies designed to ascertain the organs secreting these compounds into semen it was found that: Quantitative analyses of semen obtained pre- and post-vasectomy showed markedly
